The Project Description:

With a PARTNER....
Research the Bolshevik Revolution of October 1917. Obtain information from at least 1 PRIMARY source and 2 SECONDARY sources in order to develop an understanding of what happened, why it happened, and how it affected the people of Russia on both sides.

‍‍‍‍‍Complete the graphic organizer with information that will help you address the following project assignment:


‍‍‍‍‍How does an understanding of the Bolshevik Revolution help us understand Blok’s poem "The Twelve?” Use evidence from informational texts, as well as the poem itself. Create a short (6 slides) presentation presenting an original thesis statement and evidence and explanation that supports this thesis. You must use proper MLA citations and include a Works Cited slide. This will be embedded on your blog. (RL.9-10.6, RI.9.10.3, SL.9-10.1, W.9-10.2, W.9-10.9)
